Strain-tuned enhancement of ferromagnetic TC to 176?K in Sm-doped BiMnO3 thin films and determination of magnetic phase diagram.


ABSTRACT: BiMnO3 is a promising multiferroic material but it's ferromagnetic TC is well below room temperature and the magnetic phase diagram is unknown. In this work, the relationship between magnetic transition temperature (TC) and the substrate induced (pseudo-) tetragonal distortion (ratio of out-of-plane to in-plane lattice parameters, c/a) in BiMnO3 thin films, lightly doped to optimize lattice dimensions, was determined. For c/a?>?0.99, hidden antiferromagnetism was revealed and the magnetisation versus temperature curves showed a tail behaviour, whereas for c/a?C of up to 176?K, more than 70?K higher than for bulk BiMnO3, was achieved through precise strain tuning. The TC was maximised for strong tensile in-plane strain which produced weak octahedral rotations in the out-of-plane direction, an orthorhombic-like structure, and strong ferromagnetic coupling.
